The Weekly Roundup

From Woods bashing, to Brett Favre and a little baby talk shuffled in between, here is another Roundup for y’all!
Giddy-up!

In the Spirit of Horses

• Remember when Stephen Ames (a.k.a. Horse Boy) came out and blasted Tiger Woods, saying he wasn’t that good and was beatable. Well, Ames was subsequently pulverized by Woods at the Accenture Match Play 9 & 8 the following week.
• Now awakes another challenger, yet this time a little younger. Northern Irelands Rory Mcilroy gave his best Ames impression by giving TW a few pot shots.
"I'm sure we'll probably see (Woods) in Wales," says McIlroy. "I would love to face him. Unless (Woods') game rapidly improves in the next month or so, I think anyone in the European team would fancy his chances against him."

• Kind of like how Tiger fancied his chances with the waitress from Perkins.

The Grandfather Breaks his Silence

• Brett Favre (the grandfather to Parker Brett), officially, yes officially, joined the Minnesota Vikings after Jared Allen, Ryan Longwell, and Steve Hutchinson went to his Mississippi home to pick him up. Talk about the ultimate desperation move by Coach Brad Childress. He lets three players miss half a week of training camp to fly down on the teams private jet to have beer, steak and breakfast with Mr. Wrangler Jeans himself, with the hope that Brett finally caves and comes back to football…yet again. Favre is like a good Merlot; he somehow just keeps getting better every year.

• He said he returned for his team mates, but TWR think that maybe, just maybe, the $28 million dollars he could potentially earn this season had something to do with it.

• Reports have been swirling about the ‘love-in’ with Brett within the Vikings organization, but something tells TWR that Tavaris Jackson doesn’t share that same infatuation.

Coconut ‘Flames’ Bangers Ball- It’s a Wrap!


• The Calgary Flames hired Michel Goulet to be their Western Professional Scout. He brings in two Cup rings and an entire mix of sweet beats; like this little diddy called the Thong Song. “Oh girl that dress is so scandalous. And you know another %$&#er couldn't handle it. You see dumps like a truck, truck, truck Not like a what, what, what Baby move you butt, butt, butt I think I'll sing it again Sha bang, sha bop,bop bop. Thong Song.”

• “NATURE! GOULET”!

Babies, Babies and More Babies!

• New York Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie currently has 8 children with 6 different women and he is only 26 years old. He is really trying hard to catch former Bills, Titans, and Broncos RB Travis Henry for most children from the most different women (Henry has 11 children from 10 different women). But, having babies was the easy part for Cromartie, remembering their names is another story altogether…yikes! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5qzQ2HBh0s&feature=player_embedded


The NHL Brain-trust of Dimwits

• Red mesh in the net (Wow, really?)
• Three face-off dots down the middle of the rink. (What is this, the circus?)
• A modified icing rule, which might prevent any further shattered MCL/ACL’s. (Ok, not horrible, but why not just move to no-touch like the WHL has been doing?)
• 3 on 3 overtime. (This isn’t minor hockey)
• 2 on 2 overtime. (Read above)
• Making wins in regular time and overtime count for more than shootout wins.
• It took them a week, but at least they came up with one rational rule that should have been implemented when the shootout became a reality 5 years ago.

That’s a roundup folks!
